The Brown Institute for Brain Science in Rhode Island is getting a $100 million donation, and a name change:

A Brown alum has donated $100 million to advance brain science and help find cures for ALS and Alzheimer's diseases.

The gift is from Robert J. Carney and his wife, Nancy D. Carney. He is a 1961 Brown graduate and a long-serving university trustee. The gift will change the name of the Brown Institute for Brain Science to the Robert J. and Nancy D. Carney Institute for Brain Science.
